So the past fortnight I have been making quite a few cards. Simply because I needed to do something creative and do you think I have one photo that I haven't scrapped before...I know right? And I call myself a scrapbooker!! So the alternative was cards, which is also a good way to use up some scraps leaving me feeling less guilty when I stock up on all the yummy new CHA lines coming out.....which I probably don't need :)

These along with a few others have been added to the handmade section of my store for anyone that is interested.

for masculine layouts and gave me the opportunity to add extra color to my layout. I have painted them with Gesso and then Luminarte H20 Watercolor Paint. I love how the paint over the Gesso has a streaky shaded effect. I have also added a 2Crafty Arrow across the top of my photo which has been shaded with distress ink. I also added a 2Crafty ATC element swirlwhich has been roughly painted with gesso.

I have added the 2Crafty Corner Mini Set 2, to frame my cards edges. I have also used one of the beautiful2Crafty delicate butterflies. To create the graduated color, I have inked in black, applied some white heat embossing powder then with a paint brush, gently brushed some off around the edges before setting.
